Surroundings

Sanjay Van Park

In front of KIBI you will find a World Heritage listed park, “Sanjay Van”. This is a large forested park facing the distant Qutab Minar. There are plenty of wild animals living there such as peacocks, foxes, squirrels, parrots, a few wild pigs and even antelopes. It is worth visiting this park, but if you want to do so, please make sure you go in groups of at least three people, since there have been violent attacks on visitors there in the past.

There is also another small park 200 metres up the road on the way to Qutab Hotel, where the locals go for a walk and do yoga in the morning.
